Astros returned Rule 5 pick LHP/OF Anthony Gose to the Rangers.

Gose walked the only three batters he faced with the Astros and is now back with the Rangers after signing a minor league deal with them back in November. He'll be in big league camp as a non-roster invitee. He's expected to be used primarily as a pitcher. Mar 9 - 2:21 PM

Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports that the Astros have placed LHP/OF Anthony Gose on outright waivers.

The Rule 5 pick must be offered back to the Rangers if he clears waivers. Houston gave Gose a shot to continue his pitching experiment this spring but he really struggled in his lone Grapefruit League appearance. Mar 5 - 6:41 PM

Astros selected OF/LHP Anthony Gose from the Rangers with the 15th pick in the Rule 5 draft.

Gose struggled with his attempted conversion from outfielder to left-handed reliever in 2017, but Astros executive Kevin Goldstein told reporters on Wednesday that the club will double down on that experiment. It'll be an uphill battle for the 27-year-old to stick on Houston's active roster throughout the entire season. Thu, Dec 14, 2017 10:44:00 AM

Rangers signed OF/LHP Anthony Gose to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Gose tried his hand at pitching this past season in the minors but yielded nine earned runs in 10 2/3 innings of relief at High-A Lakeland, the Florida State League affiliate of the Tigers. He'll be looked at mainly as an outfielder with the Rangers and potentially a pitcher if his arm is healthy. The 27-year-old former second-round pick is a .240/.309/.348 career hitter at the major league level. Thu, Nov 30, 2017 10:22:00 AM

Carlos Tocci was hit in the left side of his helmet near the cheekbone during a B-game on Tuesday.

The early signs are positive after going through the concussion protocol, but the Rangers will keep an eye on him in the next couple of days. The 21-year-old outfielder was traded from the White Sox to the Rangers after being selected from the Phillies in December's Rule 5 Draft.

Martin Perez limited the Angels to one run on three hits over five innings in a Cactus League start Sunday.

Perez allowed three hits and a walk while striking out one in what was his spring debut. He'd been sidelined after offseason surgery to repair a fracture in his non-throwing elbow. Assuming he continues to show well, the southpaw should earn a spot in the Rangers' rotation to start the year.

Rangers placed RHP Clayton Blackburn on the 60-day disabled list with a sprained UCL in his right elbow.

Blackburn is trying the rehab route first, but he could ultimately need Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery to repair his right UCL sprain. The 25-year-old had an 8.22 ERA over four Cactus League appearances this spring with the Rangers before they shut him down early last week.

Ronald Herrera is dealing with labrum inflammation and will likely miss the first half of the season.

He'll receive a PRP injection to try and help deal with the inflammation of his right shoulder. Herrera joined the Texas organization in a trade this November. The 22-year-old could help the Rangers in the bullpen at some point this summer thanks to his mid-90s fastball and competent secondary pitches, and had a 1.91 ERA with a 57/15 K/BB ratio in the minors in 2017.
